With very limited resources and support, India is all set to host the first ever Mallakhamb World Championship this weekend, on February 16 and 17, at the cradle of mallakhamb in the city – Shivaji Park.

The world championship sees participation of mallakhamb practitioners from over 20 countries. Besides host India, of course, Mumbai's iconic ground will have more than 120 competitors from Austria, Australia, Argentina, Japan, Hong Kong, UK, USA, Spain, Bangladesh, Italy and Vietnam, to name a few.
